Reconnected sequence clips just repeat ove

Good evening all
After losing the original media for a multi layered sequence due to a firewire drive crash I am recapturing and reconnecting the media to the sequence clips. I was experiencing some success although I am now experiencing a quirky problem.
The sequence clips of one particular layer just repeat a short and limited video with each subsequent sequence clip. The media file for the clip plays back fine as a QT and the properties of the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC file seem in order.
The media file I am trying to reconnect does post the message "one or more files did not have enough media to reconnect some clips. Some edited clip items have had their out point adjusted." during the reconnect process although this file is in its entirety and well beyond the small repeating visage.
Any clues on this one?

Michael you are right about the head banging possibilities. Fortunately I did come to realize that I could superimpose the correct clip from the browser above the original timeline edits and quickly recut them using the old sequence clips in a lower track as the template. I now have a broader understanding of the reconnection process as a result. I still have now idea what the inherent problem was though.
You suggest matching the timecode. I did and do generally sync overlying angles in the timeline by dragging or sometimes slipping a clip until it matches the frame action of another. Am I missing an elegant alternative?
As for the cautions… I do use capture now as I find the timeline a much smoother and quicker way to edit out the unwanted footage (I have never actually used the logging process). Is there a standout issue with the "capture now" process? I did not have the "abort capture…" setting enabled but I do now.
Thanks! You nailed it!

25fps sequence with just one 10fps clip

I have a sequence that needs to be 25fps in output. I made it apple prores 422 and converted to that all the clips to avoid rendering time.
I need to edit together at least 3 clips on this sequence.
One of these clips I need to have an oldish look, something that converting it to 10fps would exactly achieve for me. Unfortunately, when reimported in the project, first FCP 7 sees it as 25 fps, then when moved into the sequence, it just plays extremely fast.
I guess what I need is to keep the duration of the clip while giving it the dropped-frames look.
Now this brought me to 2 questions:
1) If I effectively have a 10 or 15 (low basically) frame rate clip, how do I put it in a sequence at 24/25/30 keeping its right duration as its look as well?
2) how do I give that "dropped frame" look to a regular (24/25/30) frame rate clip in a simple/quick way? Because I solved this by a) selecting part of the clip I wanted in the "dropped frame look" b) exporting with quicktime compression putting 10fps in the settings c) reimporting to fcp7 d) opening the clip in the viewer and then reexporting it with quicktime compression giving 25fps again. It kept the look since it reduced the frames the first time around, but brought it back to be accepted and treated fairly by the original 25fps sequence...
I know it sounds all wordy and complex... but any opinion would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!

You need to look at the possibilities that Cinema Tools offers -changing frame rates whilst retaining the "look" and read up about Speed Controls in the FCP manual.

Video filters not working when applied to sequence clips

I have looked through the forums and haven't found the solution to my problem. I am having problems with video filters on clips in the timeline. I have footage that needs color correction. In the viewer I created a 3 way filter for one clip, saved it, and applied to all clips in the browser. They all open corrected in the viewer. (I did this because i was reviewing the clips with my client).
When I put the clip in the timeline it does not indicate it needs a render, the filter does not appear on the clip, but when I double click and open the sequence clip in the viewer the color correction tab is there. I've removed attributes and tried again several times, both using the menu with the clip selected, and by doulbleclicking the clip into the viewer and apply the filter there. The tab is always there but the filter does not appear on the clip. It only appears when the process is done to clips from the browser inthe viewer. I've checked the RT for unlimted, I've done a render all video, I've checked settings under the render tab and filters is checked. I've gone into another project and have the same problem in a different project with different clips. I had a recent project where I used a blur effect and it worked fine. My video is DV and my sequence settings are DV NTSC.
I've run out of my ideas and comments from ither threads. What is my next troubleshoot? Should I delete preferecnes? I haven't done that with FCP, can I do it myself or use Rescue? Could that create other problems for me? Any other ideas?
I work in Afghanistan and have no resources here for any Mac support besides books and forums.
Thanks

Hey Catrina
Not sure what the issue is with your application of the 3-Way Color Corrector in the Browser. My guess, is that perhaps you only thought you applied the "saved" instance of the 3-way corrector but instead applied a default neutral instance of the corrector. How did you save the correction you applied to the other instances? A good method is, having applied and tweaked it as needed to a sample clip instance, you can drag a copy of it out of the clip's Filter tab and drop it directly into your Browser window. To check, then double click that Browser instance of the corrector to open it in the Viewer window and see if has the corrections settings as expected and no the default ones. If so, go ahead and drag it to another clip instance in the Browser and then drag that clip to your sequence ... has the correction "stuck" bow? But while we figure it out, for now, why not just apply the saved correction directly to the clips in the sequence? Regarding trashing your preferences ... download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion. Very straightforward to use.
Cheers

Reconnect offline clips

I used the tagging of PSE5 to tag my video clips (same as photos). I also used the move/copy method to store the material (avi files) offline on to DVD's. Due to a glitch in the PSE6 ability to recognize offline files from PSE5 I am bringing all my material back online to external hard drives. Everything has gone fine. I've just about filled up my first 750GB hard drive from the offline material.
My issue at this point is I have hit some DVD's that the Move option under File dropdown in PSE5 doesn't recognize the DVD's I put in. This may be a DVD cataloging issue. My computer can see the files in the DVD, so there is no problem for the computer to deal with the files. It is just that PSE5 can't see the files for restoring them to an online location. I'm looking for suggestions on alternatives to bring this material on line and still retain the tags I have for them and have PSE5 recognize they are online.
TIA,
Bob D

Apple Discussion- reconnecting offline clips
Hi Tom
I have all the media connected except the voiceover. I even find the voiceover clips and I drag them into the browser then I try to reconnect them without luck. I can manually drag one at a time from the browser to the time line to replace those off lines, so I just have to work around it. The reason why I move them around at the first place? Because I need the space in my internal drives for a new project, therefore I want to save the project (including the medias) in my external drive for future editing. Apparently, I am not smart enough to handle it.
Thank you

How do you move a clip just a few frames relative to another clip?

I am having a lot of trouble trying to move video and audio clips in the timeline. One key seems to be to use the Option key to select both video and audio. If you don't use Option, you only get the video or the audio.
At present I have a clip on V1 and A1, A2, and another clip on V2, A3,A4. The videos and audio of the 2 clips overlap and I am trying to move the clip on V1,A1,A2 relative to the other clip so that the audio waveforms line up and I can get a contijuous sequence. I can get the overlap fairly close but not close enough. Is there a way to move a clip just one or two frames? Everytime I move the V1 clip, the playhead jumps to the end of the clip.
What am I doing wrong?

I had a lot of trouble trying to move audio and video tracks together. The clip tended to be copied so often and the playhead would jump so I didn't know where I was or what had happened. When just the audio is moved, this doesn't seem to happen. For large moves, I just drag the audio to within a few frames or so of sync. Then I use + - for the last few frames and to check that sync is not off by a whole frame. Usually there's a little bit of out-of-sync audio but it either disappears on playback or it's not noticable.
I also adjusted the mouse characteristics with respect to speed of double-clicking and this seems to have helped.

CS6 Match Frame Problem, Sequence Clip vs Source Clip issue

Hey folks.
So, I'm on Windows 7, Premiere Pro CS6.
I've found an issue with Match Frame (Control F), it seems to be acting inconsistently. Sometimes when I double click on a clip in my sequence and hit F it brings up the sequence clip, other times it brings up the source clip (in the Source Monitor)
The problem here is that I'm placing markers on my sequence clips to line them up based on visual cues in the scene. This work fine for a while, but then, seemingly randomly, I'll double click a sequence clip and when I hit F it brings up the source clip, not the sequence clip. Now when I place markers they do not show up in the sequence because I'm marking the source clip not the sequence clip.
Anyone else encounter this? If needed I can try to capture video of this happening.
Thanks all,
~ James

Does this mean that it isn't possible to "Reviel in project", or otherwise locate a merged clip in the project window?
So far "Reveal in project", and "match frame", point to the same subfile of a merged clip... not very useful. What other options are there?
... A sad workaround is to type in the name of the merged file in the search frame at the top of the Project pain.
I guess this one for the feature request list.

Can't make sequence clips independent

I've put a clip onto the timeline and cut using a razor. When I try "Modify > Make Sequence Clips Independent" nothing happens.
I notice the duration of Sequence 1 in the browser is 00:00:00;00 but the duration of my clip is 00:01:39;24. Would that be a clue? Shouldn't they, at this time, be the same? I'm a total newbie, so I'm clueless.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
FYI, I'm going through Tom Wolsky's book, "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" (page 67 step 16) if you own that and using FCE 3.

It turns out I had two projects open and the Clip was on the timeline of the other project.

You have Repeat turned on. While playing music, tap the screen so that you see the scrubber bar showing the time. See that icon on the left side? That's Repeat. Tap it until it is white to turn it OFF.

Modify Make Sequence Clips independent - But the can't be renamed independe

I'm on Tom's book page 89 (FCE workshop)
I've taken a full Clip or main clip (like Temple) and dropped it in the timeline.
Cut it up with the razor blade and then Modify>Make Sequence Clips independent.
Then I dragged clips to new bin and tried to rename one, but all clips get renamed.
I'm confused, I thought they were independent.
Am I misreading this or doing something wrong?
Thanks for an assist.

I see what I did, the book didn't say to 'Select' the clips first. They must be selected before one chooses Modify>Make Sequence Clips Independent.

On imovie 11 the green screen isn't working i drag my clip on top and nothing happens the clip just get pushed to the side i don't get a pop up with options

i drag my clip on top and nothing happens the clip just get pushed to the side i don't get a pop up with options
please help

Hi
YOU need to - in iMovie - Turn on Advanced Tools !
top row menu - with an Apple top left ---> iMovie ---> down to preferences ---> Here select to turn on Advanced tools .
Now it will work when You drop a clip onto another IN a MOVIE PROJECT ! (can not be done in Event's)
Next problem I had - was to get right clip onto the other - what was the Background and What was the Green screen - BUT just test - You only got two ways to try out.

Reconnecting sound clips

I did something a little bit stupid in the my sequence and am wondering if there is a magical little button that will help me out!
I orginally dragged clips into the timeline with the idea that I would be redoing the sound from these clips in post as it is pretty dodgy sound from the camera's mic, and then when editing, unlinked the sound from the video and deleted the sound clips.
I would however, now like to use some of that sound from the original clips and was wondering if there is a way to "reconnect" them to their video clips.
The long way would be to find the IN and OUT points for every single clip again and this is going to take forever as I took mulitple IN/OUT points from the same shot in the viewer when editing, and there would be at least a thousand to go through. Is this my ONLY option??? Bascially, i'd be editing the scene(s) together all over again
Thanks

Put the playhead at the start of the first clip to fix
Hit "F" to match frame
Hit F10 to overwrite edit
Hit the down arrow to move you to the start of the next edit
Rinse and repeat.

Trimming a Multicam sequence (not just switching angles)

I've just started using Premiere 5.5 and I'm trying to see if there's a simpler way to achieve what I need with MultiCam editing. Here's my setup:
I have 3 clips, shot simultaneously from 3 different angles, each lasting about 20 minutes. I want to cut between the different angles AND edit out the dead air/blown lines/etc. The final clip will probably be around 5 minutes.
If I was editing a single clip, I would simply pull it up in the Source Monitor, use Mark In/Mark Out to "grab" the good pieces, and then Insert/Overwrite that footage into the Timeline. Simple no-nonsense way to edit 20 minutes down to 5. But with MultiCam editing, the entire 20-min original footage is already nested in the sequence, and the editing is simply choosing camera angles. If I want to trim the footage in addition to choosing camera angles, it appears I have to go into the TimeLine itself and do all my trimming and dragging from there.
Is there a way to preview the MultiCam footage in the Source Monitor and simply Insert the pieces you want into a brand new sequence? (In addition to choosing the different angles for each piece?) For me, that seems MUCH simpler than having the entire sequence on the Timeline itself and chopping out 75% of it after the fact.
I might be missing something obvious, so please let me know! I've checked out several different Video Tutorials from Adobe but they all focus on a Multicam edit of choosing different angles with no real cuts within the footage itself.
Thanks,
Rich

Not exactly. But there is a workflow that accomplishes what you want in a slightly different way.
What I typically do is to nest the multi-cam edit sequence into what I call a "target" sequence. Then I do my timeline editing on this target sequence. Why? So if I screw it up I don't have to start over from scratch and redo my camera angle choices all over again. I can just delete my target sequence, then create a new one, nest my multi-cam edit sequence in this new one, and start over. Repeat as needed until I get what I want. Typically I'll have three or four of these targets, pulling different bits and pieces out of the results of the multi-cam edit, for web videos, teasers, or to isolate a single topic.
Easy enough to do. When you get done picking camera angles, go to the Program Manager window and click on the "new item" icon on the bottom edge of the window. Select "sequence" from the pop up menu, and name it something you can identify like "target". Then click on the multi-cam edit sequence icon in the Project Manager window, and drag that down to your new timeline. Edit at will -- nothing you do in this new sequence will harm or change anything you did in your multi-cam edit sequence. But, if you change things in your multi-cam edit sequence, this changes will trickle down to your target sequence. So you can still adjust your timing on camera angle switches and these changes will show up in your target sequence.
